What? Never mind.

fRump earlier this year said that he is seeking to return manufacturing to the U.S., but his priority is to attract makers of military equipment and technology, not the textile industry.

“I’m not looking to make T-shirts, to be honest,” he told reporters in May. “I’m not looking to make socks.”

The U.S. ran a trade surplus of nearly $600 million with Haiti last year.

The legislation had provided duty-free entry into the U.S. and generated economic benefits to both sides, according to business advocates. Cotton and other fabrics from the U.S. were used in Haiti to make the finished products shipped to the U.S. Much of the revenue generated by Haitian labor was then spent buying goods from the U.S., including some $260 million in rice from Louisiana and nearly $500 million in fuel in 2024.

What an economic idiot.
